Blueberry Cheesecake Popsicles

The blazing general sun marched through the sky with a vast troop of inexorable heat wave soldiers. Across the world they stormed, a power so insurmountable that all humans fell and cowered in their light. But the blazing army showed no mercy, running the people through with their fiery bayonets in a horrible tour de force.

2. Puree the berries, sugar, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor until smooth. Set aside.

3. Beat the cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth. Beat in the yogurt, sugar, vanilla, and lemon oil.

4. Pipe or spoon 1 tbsp of the cream cheese mixture into the popsicle molds. Pipe or spoon 1 tbsp of the berry mixture into the molds. Repeat, alternating, until the molds are filled. Tap the molds on the counter to get rid of any air pockets.

5. Using a skewer or knife, gently swirl the mixtures in the molds.

6. Freeze until completely frozen solid (if you try to unmold too soon, the handles will dislodge from the parfrozen centers).

7. Hold the molds under hot running water for a few seconds. Try to loosen the pops. Repeat until you can remove the pops from the molds. Serve!
